After Amelia regained her stumble from falling under the scheme of some strangers, she flew into an outrage right away.
Turning back around, she glared at the two women who were chuckling behind their hands. Amelia then spat in annoyance, "What did you two do that for?!"
"Miss, don't blame us when you were the one who lost balance yourself."
Amelia flared up even wilder at this. "How dare you still quibble! One of you obviously pushed me!"
The grins on the two girls were wider than ever. "But who can prove it?"
"So you guys are bold enough to do it, but have no guts to take the responsibility?"
After sneering at them, Amelia looked at the two waiters by the door and asked, "Excuse me, but did you see who pushed me from my back just now?"
The two waiters then cast their gaze towards Amelia's left. Though they did not say anything, their answer was clear.
The woman stared at by the waiters got furious and thundered, "Hey! Why are you guys looking at me?"
"Of course they're looking at you for a reson!"
A light flashed in Amelia's eyes as Amelia stormed towards the woman and raised her arm, about to push her back!
And at this exact moment, an elegant, feminine voice sounded and stopped Amelia's movement in midair. "Lindsay, Pauline, what happened?"
Hearing the voice, Amelia immediately shifted her attention to the person in the gap between the two women, and her eyes slightly trembled at who she saw. That person was...
As soon as the woman who almost took Amelia's blow heard the voice calling out from behind her, she turned back right away.
"Sissi!" After a few seconds of pause from being taken aback, the woman then quickly paced over to Sissi with a pitiful look as if she had been bullied. "You're finally here!"
Sissi wore a refreshing smile on her lips, then began asking in concern, "Lindsay, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"
Lindsay secretly threw a stare in Amelia's direction and twisted the truth as she told her, "It's all because of her! Pauline and I wanted to get into the restaurant and secure a seat as soon as possible. I didn't expect to quarrel with her here. She even wants to hit me! But luckily, you're here now!"
Sissi responded with a faint "Oh?", then raised her eyelashes to look towards Amelia.
Once she realized who she was, Sissi froze, her heart shuddering from shock!
She did not expect to meet Amelia in such a place without any preparation beforehand!
As for Amelia, she had already regained her normal composure after the brief shock.
Since Sissi was not making a move on her, Amelia did not do anything too. She wanted to see how Sissi would handle this incident.
If Sissi stood on her colleague's side and blamed her for no reason, then she could only feel disappointed at Patrick for being blind and falling in love with this kind of woman!
Seeing Sissi staring at Amelia with a complex expression on her face, Lindsay, who was in the wrong, raised her hand and waved in front of her. "Sissi?"
Sissi snapped back to her senses and grabbed Lindsay's waving hand right away. The smile on her face was stiff when she said, "This lady doesn't look like the type to cause trouble for nothing. I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding between you two and her?"
Lindsay's eyes flew wide open. "Sissi, I..."
Sissi then interrupted, "I know a delicious Japanese restaurant that sells grilled fish nearby. Why don't we eat there?"
Lindsay then added anxiously, "Sissi, we're standing up for you. Don't you know that?"
But Pauline was much smarter. Hearing Sissi, she said to Amelia in an instant, "I'm so sorry, miss! My colleague is clumsy and accidentally crashed with you. I apologize to you on her behalf..."
"Pauline, why are you apologizing?" Lindsay turned her head and asked gloomily. Pauline was supportive of her about pushing Amelia just now!
Pauline then came forward a few step, held Lindsay's shoulder and whispered, "Are you stupid? Can't you tell that Sissi doesn't want to offend that woman?"
Lindsay asked back foolishly, "Is that so?"
